Congratulations!

We will be contacting you via email to send you your prize!

His answer:

“French Press… Doesnt take much room, great for coffee and tea. Boil water with that great microwave and brew up a cuppajoe. Great for sipping while in a philosophical discussion with that person on the other side of the umi. No waste, less expensive than Fourbucks coffee, and very tasty.”

I would like to talk to Tim Tebow because the only Gator game I ever got to go to was the loss to Mississippi which he apologized for. I would like to thank him for the apology and let him know I do not hold it against him. After all it is a team sport. I would like to wish him the best of luck in the NFL and salute his integrity.

Brett Favre: What posses you to string out your career, essentially avoiding training camp, for these extra years beyond your initial retirement? Essentially all you've accomplished is the tarnishing of a great career and obvious hall of fame membership. Also, are you coming back next year?

I would want to talk to the Williams sisters (Venus and Serena); both because they both were trained under the same person and have the same style of playing, along with being mega tennis stars! My kids play tennis and are upcoming stars (I HOPE, lol!), and I would ask Serena and Venus Williams, how did they deal with the pressures of playing tennis as African Americans in a sport that is dominated by Caucasians. Not be offensive, but they have dealt with many facets of racism and people in the public. This would be good advise to my kids, who are also African American.

Brian "The Beard" Wilson He is a newly minted World Series champion and the funniest man in sports! He could show me how to groom my beard and barber up a proper Mohawk. Or we could discuss our tattoos and our mutual appreciation for all things San Francisco!

I would talk to Earvin "Magic" Johnson on umi because I grew up seeing that brilliant smile of his up front! I would tell him that I grew up watching him play in the Showtime era of the '80s, and that he always made my day happy when he led the Lakers to a win!

Andre Agassi, I would say "thank you" and tell him how much I admire him for using his celebrity to give back, to educate, and to inspire so many young people. Then, I'd ask him to give me a tennis lesson! LOL!

I would talk to Tim Linecum. I would ask him; "What did it feel like to strike out 14 Atlanta Braves Batters in October this year?" Also; "What did it feel like to go from the minors to the Giants and win the World Series?" What an amazing pitcher.

I would talk to Babe Ruth and aks him two questions.
1: when he points out to the left field, was he saying that is where the ball was going or if that was the location of the bar he was going after the game was over
2: I would teleport him a Baby Ruth and ask him if he enjoyes the candy bar named after him and if it was okay it was acandy bar and not something else . if so what would that something else actually be

I would like to talk to Andre' Agassi and tell him that I think he is doing great things with his money and career after his retirement helping children and I admire him very much. Also I enjoyed watching him play tennis throughout his career!

Valentino Rossi, Italian professional motorcycle racer. How does he remain so humble, dedicated and passionate after all these years? I admire his tenacity and knowledge of his own limitations, but also his ability to push boundaries with confidence. Just a fascinating man, with a tremendous and wonderful talent.

Definately Usain Bolt - the 100-meter and 200-meter world record holder sprinter! I would ask him what it is like being such a rock star track and field athlete in such a small place as Jamaica. (I might also ask him a couple tips on how to improving my sprinting!).
